Characteristics of SCN1B mutants associated with epilepsy

Mutation Heterologous system VGSCa α subunit tested Results Reference
p.C121W Xenopus oocytes Nav1.2 Similar functional modulation of α when injected at high concentration. Decreased modulation at lower concentration.b Meadows et al., 2002
1610 cells Nav1.3 Association with α. No shift in voltage dependence of current inactivation. Decreased frequency-dependent rundown. Acceleration of recovery from fast inactivation.b No dominant-negative effect. Meadows et al., 2002
1610 cells Nav1.2 Association with α. No shift in voltage dependence of current inactivation. No decrease in frequency-dependent rundown. Acceleration of recovery from fast inactivation.b Equally effective as WT in promoting cell surface expression of α subunits.b Meadows et al., 2002
HEK-293 cells Nav1.4 Equally effective as wild type in promoting cell surface expression of α subunits.b Tammaro et al., 2002
Unable to accelerate recovery from inactivation.a
Channels containing p.C121W may require larger-than-normal stimuli to open but, once activated, inactivate considerably less readily than channels containing wild-type β1. Aman et al., 2009
HEK-293 cells Nav1.1
p.I70-E74del N/A N/A N/A Audenaert et al., 2003
p.R85C HEK-293 cells Nav1.2 No modulation of current density. Xu et al., 2007
Inability to shift voltage dependence of fast activation, fast or slow inactivation, decrease time constant of fast inactivation, or accelerate recovery from fast inactivation.b No protein expression detected.b
p.R85H HEK-293 cells Nav1.2 No modulation of current density. Inability to shift voltage dependence of fast activation or inactivation or accelerate recovery from fast inactivation.b No protein expression detected.b Xu et al., 2007
p.R125C HEK-293 cells Nav1.1 Reduced cell surface expression.b Present paper
1610 cells Nav1.2 Decreased sodium current density.b Inability to shift voltage dependence of inactivation. Reduced frequency-dependent rundown, accelerated recovery from fast inactivation, increased persistent current.b Reduced cell surface expression.b Present paper
Xenopus oocytes Nav1.2 Channel modulation similar to wild type. Present paper
  • aVoltage-gated sodium channel.

  • bCompared with β1WT.
